good news week

It's been a great week.

• I got a commission for an article about teaching from an editor I've worked with before. It's always so great to get repeat commissions and get recognised for your work. 
• Then half an hour later an email came through from someone writing a book about teaching and asking to use quotes from another article I wrote. So exciting!
• And I submitted a few conference proposals in an effort to get some enthusiasm back about my thesis. And I've been accepted at one UK conference online, so I'm both excited and nervous about that.
• I also received a lovely letter from a reader of my memoir, which is always a joy, but especially years after my book was published.
• In other news, episode 3 of my podcast is dropping on Monday. The first five episodes are scheduled for publication, and I have episodes 6-10 scripted.
• Merchandise for my kickstarter is arriving, and I'm in the midst of proofreading and writing books for the series.

Having a blast.
